Summary
Devon Andrade is a Kernel Engineer based in California with 11 years of low-level systems experience focused on firmware, OS internals, and kernel development. At Apple since 2017, he works on kernel-level challenges that demand deep understanding of hardware-software boundaries. His early internships at SpaceX and Intel involved board bring-up, implementing nanosecond-accurate PTP timing on flight hardware, and building Yocto-based Linux distributions with custom kernel drivers to bridge FPGA and SoC designs. He combines practical firmware bring-up skills with production kernel engineering, making him adept at turning hardware constraints into reliable software interfaces. Active on GitHub, Devon shares working examples and tooling that reflect his hands-on approach to embedded and OS problems. He holds dual BS degrees in Computer and Software Engineering from Oregon Tech, reflecting a formal foundation underpinning his low-level expertise.
